絵本金花夕映 : 一名・唐金藻右衛門金花夕映 2
This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) by the writer Baimokuri Tanga with illustrations by Kankanro Hokusui, published by Maekawa Genshichirō, probably in Edo-period Japan for popular readers. Its woodblock-printed pages show outdoor riverside scenes, a woman on a veranda, and a fight beside a shuttered house, drawn in bold black line with dense hatching on rocks, water and foliage. A designer could take the economical ink-line staging, the hatched water patterns and the dramatic diagonal composition of figures against architecture.
